Humanity
from Doxology Church Hosted by Doxology Church
Genesis 1:24–28 and 2:18–23 address what it means to be human and how we view ourselves and others. Humanity is marked by four key features: 1. The Image of God: We are made in God's image—not God himself, but reflecting his essence in a way that makes humanity distinct. 2. Male and Female: We are created as male and female, showing both radical equality and real distinction. 3. Victims and Agents: While we fell victim to Satan’s manipulation in Genesis 3, we remain responsible for our actions. 4. Wholeness through Jesus: Jesus took on humanity to be with us, becoming like us in every respect yet remaining without sin. Through him, we receive sympathy, a new status as children of God, and the guidance of his Spirit. Because everyone is made in the image of God, we must be mindful of how we treat others. Likewise, because you reflect his image, you are called to treat yourself with that same care and dignity. Steve Reed (2.22.26) | Credo: Ancient Truth, Present Love | Genesis 1:24-28, Genesis 2:18-23
